–HERO CAROUSEL START– WeatherTech RacewayLaguna Seca Home of the most famous turns in all of motorsports. — HERO CAROUSEL END– –CAROUSEL START– –CAROUSEL END– --CONTENT START-- 2.238 Miles 2.238 miles / 3.602 km of track that is a veritable roller coaster without rails. 11 Turns The track features 11 challenging and varied turns. 180’ of Elevation The undulating track layout showcases up to 180’ of elevation changes throughout. --CONTENT END-- --CAROUSEL START-- --CAROUSEL END-- --CAROUSEL START-- Turn 1 This is a blind turn taken at full speed. Once through, steer toward the right side to set up for Turn 2. Turn 2 Known as the Andretti Hairpin, this is mostly a single apex corner. Stay straight on the right entering the very long turn to reach the apex with maintenance throttle after braking. Turn 3 Aim the car to driver’s left and slow down for entry, as the apex is late in the corner. Turn 4 This is a fast radius turn with no banking so it is not uncommon to have the car slide at the exit. Don’t turn in early as that may lead to lifting at the exit and an almost certain slide or spin. Turn 5 Here, we begin to go uphill at the apex. The slight banking starts at mid corner and it is important to carry speed up the hill. The approach is slightly longer with smooth braking rather than short abrupt braking. Turn 6 This is a corner you need to watch out for. There is a dip into the apex and too much weight transferred forward can make the car get loose by the apex. Start braking at the bridge for a smooth entry, then return to a maintenance speed before turning in. Turn 7 The turn in is on the left of the hill just past the end of the curbing. Go straight over the blind crest so that the car is on the right side as you approach The Corkscrew. Brake before the crest and continue until just past turn in. Turn 8 Known as The Corkscrew. Turn in is late to go straight down the hill. The drop is blind so look toward the oak tree that is close to the track to line up for the bottom of 8a. As you head toward 8a, apply some throttle to help shift weight to the rear of the car. Turn 9 The Rainey Curve is a fast downhill sweeper. Be about a car width from the right at turn in. Brake only hard enough to allow the car to turn in. The turn is blind so don’t turn the wheel too quickly. Speed is fast at exit and the car often feels like it wants to slide. Do not lift. Turn 10 This turn comes quickly. Braking is harder than it looks like it should be. You drop into a bowl so the car picks up speed quickly. After turn in, return to speed quickly so the car does not become loose. Turn 11 This is the slowest corner on the track. Start braking early. It is very much a slow in, fast out approach for the straightaway. --CAROUSEL END-- --CONTENT START-- Our History with Laguna Seca Our close connection with the Monterey peninsula extends back to 1954 when a Porsche 356 claimed victory at the Pebble Beach road races. Ties to the region strengthened further in 1957 when Porsche earned victory in not one, but two classes on the opening weekend at what is known today as WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. That weekend gave way to a tradition of racing – and winning – at the famous Corkscrew for nearly 70 years including an overall victory in 2024 with our current prototype racecar: the 963. This is a home away from home for Porsche, so it’s no surprise that the last four Rennsport Reunions – the biggest Porsche gatherings anywhere in the world – took place here, collectively amassing hundreds of thousands of fans. We treasure our history in Monterey and, as we look to the future with renewed optimism and excitement, we are proud to be the “Official car of WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.” Sign up for 2026 Schedule Announcements --CONTENT END-- --CAROUSEL START-- Your browser does not support the video tag. --CAROUSEL END-- --GALLERY START-- Show more --GALLERY END-- --INTERACTIVE CAROUSEL HIDDEN-- This website uses cookies and other tracking technologies to better understand how visitors use our site and to offer you a more personal experience.
